Have You Tried Using a Face Mask In Powder Form?
A face and body mask packaged in a powder format that requires blending with a “mixer” before application has the following advantages:
First - the system offers you 100% natural product without the presence of artificial fragrances or preservatives which can potentially irritate delicate facial skin.
Second - this dry system enables you to use one product for virtually any skin type. The key is in the “mixer”: such as milk, water or yogurt, honey, olive, cream - this material is targeted to your skin type, which means you can have just one product, yet still achieve incredible versatility. This makes the face mask in powdered form extremely flexible.
Finally - it is so reassurring mixing up your own mask tailored specifically to your personal needs. The application of a fresh, customizable mask is a memorable and very effective experience.

Is Your Makeup Infested with Bacteria? Throw it Away NOW!
Would you rub germs and bacteria on your face? Well that is exactly what you are doing when you are reusing makeup after a certain period of time. It’s quite filthy when you think about it. If you put your 6 months old makeup under a microscope, you will be horrified to find the germs crawling, swimming and doing acrobatic moves under your very eyes. Disgusting thought? It’s a disgusting fact!
The shelf life for most makeup that has been opened and used is normally around 3 - 6 months. Any makeup that comes in contact with the eyes and eye fluid is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria - mascaras, eye liners and eye shadows should belong in the rubbish bin after 3 months. Bacteria such as Staph, yeast and fungal can develop and if the bacteria gets into your eyes, you may develop eye infections such as conjuctivitus or other more serious eye conditions.

Vitamin E Skin Care Benefits
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant with powerful skin healing properties that improves skin tone, fine lines, and even prevents skin cancer
Having a healthy balanced diet is the best way to get the vitamin E you need and to keep your skin looking it’s best. Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin meaning that it is stored in the body. Some foods rich in vitamin E include avocados, nuts, asparagus, olives and olive oil and spinach.
Vitamin C Skin Care Benefits
The human body does not produce Vitamin C and it needs to be taken in our diet or as dietary supplements. The good thing is that vitamin C is readily available in many plant and animal sources such as broccoli, cauliflower, green leafy vegetables, papaya, orange, lemons, grapefruit, mango, calf liver, beef liver, pork, and cow milk. Vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid can also be taken through synthetic sources, in the form of drinks, capsules, and tablets and can be applied to skin in the form of lotions and creams.
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) has proven effectiveness to stimulate collagen synthesis, treat sun damaged skin, protect skin by neutralizing free radicals and prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin A Skin Care Benefits
Vitamin A derived skin care products can be found in many anti-aging beauty formulas. The antioxidant effect of vitamin A helps rejuvenate the skin from deep down within the collagen fibres working hard to reverse damages caused by free radicals from sun damage, smoking and other environmental factors.
Keep in mind that excessive vitamin A is not excreted like vitamin C or B. Vitamin A Is a fat soluble vitamin meaning that it is stored in the body. Eating a couple of carrots is not going to hurt. Natural sources of beta carotine is not converted to vitamin A until until your body converts it when necessary. Synthetic man-made vitamin A such as Tretinoin is a different story. Large doses can become toxic and in some cases lethal.
Vitamin A does wonders for the skin and skin benefits are endless……….. Click Here
